An amazing spectacle by the old Languages Centre at the U of J. The names of those who are set to graduate this semester, and mine among them! This is the story.
I’m casually walking by, looking for some buddies to catch cold with on this harshly cold day, when I am dressed in a less-than-satisfactory-manner, and I see two of my friends.
So I smile, I go over to say salam, and they ask me if I had seen my name.
Friends: Have you seen your name on the paper?
Tololy: What paper?
Friends: Your name is on that paper hung on the glass door of the centre!
Tololy: Seriously?
Friends: Yeah!
Tololy: What for?
Friends: Go check it out, and congrats girl!
So I go, and I have absolutely no idea what to expect. Had I not seen those two friends I would probably have not known about this in, say, two weeks’ time. A buddy comes trotting and finds me looking at the wrong paper, they’re all the same -those official papers- you know. He shows me where to look and I see my name, there! On top of the list! My friend congratulates me again and ,again, I do not know why I am being congratulated.
Then I understand it all. I am an honours student, and my GPA is the highest in the Modern Languages Department! Surreal!I am euphoric, absolutely euphoric about this. I set myself a goal in 2002 and I have managed to reach my destination, I really have, that’s the most sensational bit about the whole thing. This is an amazing feeling, I am genuinely proud of myself and I feel a little less guilty about my crazy shopping crusade of yesterday.
I call Mama, my sisters, my friends, and even my lady boss-friend. She tells me additional good news about work and this day could not get any better! (well it could but I just love it as is).
My first goal secured, I am good to go to the next one, two, three… Infinity.
Mabrook Tololy! You definitely have the talent and mental capacity to achieve such a goal, and although I’m not surprised, I’m truly happy for you.
You go, girl!
mabrook…i remember we used to dislike awa2lil il dof3a…you seem to be a bit more, umm..what’s the word…”normal”?
no really Alf Cc…
Thank you my friends! I am seriously thrilled about this, glad you could share my happiness with me :)
Congratulations!! I absolutely love it when anyone acheives the goals they set out for themselves. Enjoy the accomplishment and move on to #2 on your list. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders and I have no doubt you will reach any of the goals you set out for yourself.
good job yo!
congratulations.
Tololy,
You are much more scintilating than alot of celestial stars nocturnally orbiting earth.
Awesome :D Way to go Tololy!
Lovely!Smart girl…:p
Mabrook!
So I guess now it’s time to find you a nice guy, get married,stay at home and have kids,hang your honours degree in the sitting room! (Okay I’m just ranting about what really happens in most cases) though I know it’s not your case.
Anyways,this calls for a shindig :D, and the good old “Ween el 7elwaan ya 7elu”?
Congrats Tololy :) it’s no surprise at all ;)
Doesn’t it feel weird with the count down to graduation? New Year’s Resolutions this year will have a completely different taste :)
i hope your next goal is the book, mabrook!
do you ship knafeh to the US?
It is a pleasure to see someone happy ,it is a greater pleasure to feel Toly’s happiness for such a worthy cause” Honers” ,Toly being an honours student, with a highest GPA in the Modern Languages Department, gives a unique mix pride and happiness ,for you Toly you have so rightly earned ,and so genuinely we share .Now how can you edit me and rewrite what I just put in few lines into one sentence ending with (we care for you) ,now that you are a grad of Modern Languages Department .Mabroukkkkkkk
Allah ybarek b 3omorkom jamee3an bedon istisna2 :) Jameed, raje3ni 3al email menshof keef bedna nratteb mawdou3 el knafeh.
Much obliged to all. I have this silly fear in my head that I could be mistaken, now that would make me blush!
Well, I can’t judge your Italian, but it would be very difficult to figure out from your English writing that you are not a native speaker (and I am one, and a writer to boot, so I’m very picky!). Not only do you know how to write, but you do it so well, and use so many beautiful words. I’m not surprised you were at the top of your class. You surely deserve it! Congratulations!
Mabrook! Yip! Yip! Yip! Three cheers for you!
Well Done!
I am so pleased for you
great going…congrats!!
Mabrook!
Many thanks to She, Mother Damnable, Niwhsa and Abu Sinan!
Al Hamdulillah :)
Mabrook mabrook, sorry for late congrats but i just noticed this post.
